I think that it should be a bug, would you please try this patch?

Background: During the process of trying to configure SSH keys for root user
login via dropbear, we realized the permission for /home/root directory is set
too loose for group and other members [1]. As a result, dropbears fails when we
try to put the key under /home/root/.ssh
---------
In the image, /home/root directory is set to 0755:
$ stat /home/root
File: /home/root
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: b302h/45826d Inode: 13268 Links: 4
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Access: 2016-04-05 22:21:13.000000000
Modify: 2016-04-05 22:08:57.000000000
Change: 2016-04-05 22:08:57.000000000
After some debugging, we believe the permission (0755) is initialized in
base-files_3.0.14.bb <http://base-files_3.0.14.bb> (in line 35) [2].
A few questions:
1. I tried looking at the git log for the history, but wasn't able to find any
background on why the permission was set this way. eg. on a desktop Linux
(Ubuntu), /root is set to 0700:
$ sudo stat /root
File: `/root'
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 801h/2049dInode: 1441793 Links: 3
Access: (0700/drwx------) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Access: 2016-04-05 21:29:17.389725228 -0700
Modify: 2016-03-22 17:11:54.912479000 -0700
Change: 2016-03-22 17:11:54.912479000 -0700

2. If we would like to override the directory permission for /home/root in our
image, what is the best way to do it? I am not an expert with bitbake, should I
be patching the base-files_3.0.14.bb <http://base-files_3.0.14.bb>? using
*_append? or I should be looking at some other recipe altogether?
Sorry for the long email. Thanks in advance.
